It means they are all fertile. The embryo produces the veins so if you see any blood, even a spot, the embryo is/was alive at some point.

My female dragon just layed 11 eggs today and i see some veins and spots inside but she did not lay them in her box just all over the cage,i put them in vermiculite and put them in a 10 gallon tank with a heater at 85. i hope they will hatch,i did not know she was gravid so i hope that she is ok. any help.
